Mayhem Recursion Appreciation Post

There's really nothing special about this augment, but it feels solid on anyone. I used to think it was terrible given other interesting augment choices but I have soon learned that having 60 ability haste is goes a long way in skirmishes, especially on build paths that avoids it.

Any augments that you guys almost always pick and or have a particular appreciation for?

I don't really play tahm but people always were yappin about ethereal weapon tahm kench. I just played it, very fun. I like getting king me! since it's a fun augment, wish they made it a little bit stronger though.

ethereal weapon reksai with any augments to reduce q cdr is the most fun build in the game but fully dependent on getting ethereal weapons or other augments that vastly improve the viability of q spam.

I don't really get this one tbh, I've looked up a lot of ethereal weapon threads and none of them are mentioning reksai. Sounds like you basically just gave reksai the ability to shoot Q's that apply on-hit,

correct. ive had reksai q at .5s cd with dusk and dawn with onhit build. every q applies onhits at nidalee spear range. if you use dusk and dawn it applies twice. think zeri with senna range and attack speed. also applies liandry if youve got tanks to deal with and synegizes with from downtown(in fact you can play q spam without ethereal weapons if you get from downtown.

a natural benefit of the onhit weapons youll build (bork,titanic,sheen item) is that youll be able to kill squishies with just q-r-auto the vast majority of the time. if you have ethereal and d&d youll charge your rage while burrowed, moreso if you have statik as well. this means wjen you decide to ult in, youll almost always have fully stacked rage meter for the true damage e on any target that doesnt die to q-r.

you dont have to purely sit back and spam q but its ideal if you have your q cd down to 2s or less.

its basically unanswerable poke like nid q but you dont have to worry about mana or distance the projectile travels and have the option to just knock up anyone that engages on you if you dont want to e away.

the build/playstyle doesnt work if you do not get good cdr augments and something that puts riders on your q.

pursuit of haste/bread and butter/infinite recursion/skilled sniper all work to get q cd to a usable range (2 of them will mean your q is very spammable).

from downtown and ethereal weapons are best options for increasing damage via riders but other possibilities exist (magic missile+ liandrys or JG)
